Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified direxbit.com as a brand impersonation threat specifically targeting the Ethereum brand. This domain, which is currently offline, was found to be operating as a cryptocurrency exchange under the name DirexBit, claiming to facilitate the buying and selling of Bitcoin and Ethereum. The site was designed to deceive users into believing it was a legitimate platform, but it has been confirmed as a phishing attempt aimed at stealing cryptocurrency assets. Technical analysis reveals that direxbit.com was created on February 21, 2026, and resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3, which is associated with Cloudflare. The domain holds an SSL certificate from WE1. Security vendor assessment shows that 6 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors flagged the domain as malicious. Additionally, the domain appears on one security blocklist and was found in one threat intelligence pulse on AlienVault OTX, indicating prior awareness within the cybersecurity community. Currently, direxbit.com has been taken offline, mitigating immediate risk. However, users should remain vigilant as similar domains may reappear. PhishDestroy recommends that all users verify the authenticity of any cryptocurrency exchange before entering credentials or transferring funds. Always double-check URLs and avoid clicking on unsolicited links. For further protection, consult PhishDestroy's database for the latest threat intelligence and blocklisted domains. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 11c501aa6eca37500e9884a448286f36 ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (operator takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/direxbit.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=direxbit.com Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
